EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas print, we are transported back to the year 1787, where Mary Margaret Wood and two of her daughters come to life before our eyes. Painted by Francis Wheatley, this exquisite piece measures 91.4x72.1 cm and is housed in the prestigious Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. Mary Margaret Wood, formerly known as Pearce before marriage, takes center stage in this portrait. Her serene expression exudes wisdom and grace that only comes with age. Standing proudly beside her are her two daughters - a testament to the strong bond shared within their family. The composition beautifully captures a moment of intimacy between mother and children amidst a lush landscape backdrop. The sisters stand cheekily next to their seated mother while holding baskets filled with an abundance of ripe fruits. Their white dresses contrast against Mary's elegant gown, emphasizing their youthfulness. This painting not only showcases familial love but also incorporates elements of botany and natural history through the presence of various plants surrounding them. It serves as a reminder that even during simpler times like the Georgian era depicted here, knowledge about science and food was highly valued. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, we cannot help but feel drawn into its narrative - one that celebrates both maternal love and intellectual curiosity for generations to come.
